Nursing Assistant Cares For Her Colleagues: Livermore Hero

LIVERMORE, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. And the Tri-Valley is full of them.

We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Edelyn Cabrera of Fremont, who nominated co-worker Joenalene Woodring of Livermore:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Certified Nurse assistant

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
She has made meals for our hospital three times and the recent one was on her actual birthday. She gives so much for our hospital and instead of thinking about herself on her birthday, she thought about us at the hospital.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
She is a Hard worker and a giver.

Thank you for all you do, Joenalene!
